Parametric design, algorithmic modeling, generative and associative design are only some of the keywords a work paradigm that is becoming more popular, designed to respond complexities contemporary architecture. Most commonly, such an approach used for new buildings, but when meets heritage building information modeling (HBIM), process can take on even greater centrality—flexibility control go hand-in-hand, ensuring precious tools planning restoration interventions management projects. This...
This paper and a companion present complete study (analysis, modeling, numerical simulation) of the wind pressure field on prismatic tall buildings, taking into account its non-Gaussian nature. In this paper, analysis data obtained by tunnel experimental tests is used to provide systematic characterization stochastic field. First, work briefly described; then statistical moments up second order (mean, standard deviation, spectral densities) are obtained. Comparisons with results reported in...
Photogrammetric surveys via Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are nowadays a valuable tool for historic masonry structures inspection, surveillance, mapping and 3D modeling issues. When structural damage assessment of interest obtaining accurate reliable geometric models is crucial issue. Therefore, the flight plan, georeferencing data processing steps need to be properly designed. In this paper, procedure photogrammetric survey used in order obtain effective visual inspections model arch bridge...
Abstract In the last two decades, use of modal parameters to detect and localize structural damage has gained increasing interest in scientific community. The work reported literature mainly deals with change natural frequencies due changes properties given by damage. This approach relies on accurate estimation, which is still a very difficult task especially when complex systems are interest. Furthermore, detection localization can be highly inaccurate if used only, regardless associated...
In this study a structural investigation on the ogival masonry domes is performed with particular attention to significant debate between mathematicians and architects mainly of French Italian schools that characterized 18th century. period, analytical approaches investigate static dome structures were developed concurrently for affirmation proportional methods, as reported in several architectural treatises which graphical constructions design can be found. It well known Carlo Fontana,...
